“Elaine Sevier and Stuart Sevier have a family relationship.”
“The members of IMI are its directors.”
“The Chairman and Treasurer review and approve Form 990 prior to providing it to the Board of Directors and filing with the IRS.”
“Each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with board-delegated powers must annually sign the conflict of interest statement. If a potential conflict of interest is disclosed, the governing board or a delegated committee will determine whether a conflict of interest exists. The individual in question will be excluded from the discussion and voting on the conflicted matter.”
“To determine the Executive Directors salary, the other Board members conducted a compensation study and compared compensation of executives in similar locations and with similar experience and education.”
